History
Kiyosatochō Station opened on 1929-11-14 as Kami-Shari Station, a general station of Japanese Government Railways on what is now the Senmō Main Line. After Kami-Shari Village became Kiyosato Town on 1955-08-01, the station was renamed Kiyosatochō on 1956-04-10; the suffix chō ('town') was kept to distinguish it from the existing Kiyosato Station on the Koumi Line. The building was rebuilt on 1965-08-01 and a footbridge added on 1968-09-30. Freight ended on 1983-05-20, parcels on 1984-02-01, and staff on 1986-11-01, after which the station was simply commissioned. JR Hokkaido inherited the station in 1987; Kiosk took over the commission in 1990 but closed in January 1993, briefly transferring it to a local shop before the commission lapsed entirely in March 1996.

Notes
After the station was unstaffed, its old ticket office was used briefly as an electronics shop with a video-rental section before the building reverted to a railway role.
